My dear brothers and sisters, dedicating your lives to singing for Jesus: “If anyone says, “I love God,” and HATES HIS BROTHER, HE IS A LIAR; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen CANNOT LOVE GOD whom he has not seen.” (1 John 4:20)
This is the same John who taught us that: “…God so loved the world, that HE GAVE his only Son…” (John 3:16) John knows about God’s love and mentions it often in his writings. The scriptures teach us that: “…God is love.” (1 John 4:8)
So, it makes sense if we hate someone, but we say we love God, it cannot be…
“EVERYONE WHO HATES HIS BROTHER IS A MURDERER, and you know that no murderer HAS ETERNAL LIFE ABIDING IN HIM.” (1 John 3:15)
It’s like this; love is a spiritual thing from God and hate is a spiritual thing from the devil! Both cannot be in us at the same time. So…
REPENT OF THAT HATE AND BE CONVERTED, FILLED WITH THE LOVE OF GOD…
FaithLine, the bible says: “If anyone says, “I love God,” and HATES HIS BROTHER, HE IS A LIAR…”
